The Brunton Eclipse 8099 sets a new standard for sighting compasses.
Its unique, cool design is incredibly easy to use and has made it the winner of the
Sports Afield Editor's Choice Award. It features:
- Revolutionary Body Design
- 1 Degree Azimuth Graduation
- Magnetic Declination Adjustment
- Three Inclinometer Systems
- Powerful NdFeb Magnetic Disk
- Patented Eclipse Orienting System
- Field Reference Cards
The Eclipse 8099 incorporates many more features than any "Ranger" type
compass, including 1 deg. azimuth graduations and three different inclinometers.
Instead of reading your azimuth from a magnetic needle, the Eclipse 8099 employs a
patent-pending disk magnet. Azimuth is determined by aligning two colored circles
and reading bearing from the magnified azimuth ring. Inclination of a surface or
vertical angle to a sighted object can be determined using Eclipse's gravity inclinometer
(two methods) or angular graduated case hinge.
